I must admit they are bizaare!!

Another comment from TheGloveBag.com:  Hi "spiderman". Just though I would let you know I recieved the gloves yesterday!!! I must admit they are bizaare!! But I have football training friday night and intend on wearing them there!!


A baseball player or cricket wicker keeper wouldn't think so, but in the world of soccer/football, yes, they are very different looking. Be prepared for some quizzical looks, and maybe even some good natured taunts at first. When they see the saves you will begin making once you get used to these gloves, your mates won't have anything but praise for them, and for your courage in trying something so different. Fortune favors the brave.


Remember to relax your hands more than you do in other gloves, and catch on the fingers v. the palm. You will have much more finger strength in these gloves, and a much softer touch on the ball (better grip and control) staying on the fingers, especially with the more relaxed hand.


Once you tune in to that, start walking the shots up your fingers to see how far up you can still hold onto the ball. Check out parry and deflections as well, being sure to keep the impact on the fingers to get full effect. Also check out deflections on the outside fingers. On shots that you don’t contact evenly with all the fingers, you will still have significantly more strength, even on just the little finger.
